Hi DJKC,
thanks for testing. It seems I need to switch to unicode to support mixed languages like Korean and Japanese. That's on my list now. I had a look at your sample. It is already in wmv format. Demuxing audio gives you a raw wma stream which is probably not what you want. If you want just the wma audio, you'd better use the Stream Editor from WME9 to demux it. Anyway it didn't crash here. I used direct stream copy for the video and demux for the audio and a profile similar to yours. P.S. I couldn't display the png with the error. |

Image worked fine when I checked it just now. Probably just a hiccup with imageshack when you went to look at it.
And I think I misunderstood what the demux option was for. I guess I expected the streams to be dumped either raw or into a non-WMV container format. I was using demux for both the video and audio when I got that error message. I take it that it's only for taking wmv audio/video content from other containers and putting them in a wmv container? |

WMV muxer as a DirectShow filter?
Hello Crypto,
Would you please let me know if wmv muxer/encoder may be used as a DirectShow filter. Sorry if this is a silly question. I'm new here and looking for a way to convert HD-DVD EVO files to WMV HD. Thanks & cheers, |

The idea behind wmvmuxer is exactly like this. Take the WM ASF Writer, set a profile and render the media to convert. Thus in theory every file, that can be rendered, can be encoded. However to validate the input, MediaLib is used. Some input unknown to MediaLib is rejected although it would render and convert. The next version will allow to bypass the validation. Doing so I was able to reencode a VC1 file in wmvmuxer to a lower bitrate wmv which still looked great. |

Thank you for your quick answer Crypto. That's great news! I can't wait! For the moment I'm stuck with a .avs for my audio and another .avs for my video and I don't know how to merge (maybe mux is the right word here?!) the two into a WMV HD file. Unfortunately, I read there were bugs with VirtualDub under Windows Vista, that's why I thought of WMV muxer. I also looked into WME Assistant, but it seems that this progie uses only one .avs as source so I don't know how to use it with 2 .avs source files (one for the audio and the other for the video). I am basically trying to find the easiest way to convert HD-DVD EVO files to WMV HD. I will be posting all my findings in the Doom9 - Newbies forum. Thanks again for your help.

One question leading to another (sorry!)...
1) How should I change .avs file containing the following? video = AviSource("file.avi") to video = somethingSource("file.avs") audio = WavSource("file.wav") to audio = somethingSource("file.avs") AudioDub(video,audio) This may not be a good option though, because I would then have to use WME Assistant which isn't free! 2) In my .grf files for audio and video, I respectively use InterVideo Audio Decoder and Intervideo Video Decoder, but I don't know what the output formats are for these two decoders! Would you have an idea? 3) Which encoder(s) would you use to convert .avs to .wma and .avs to .wmv? |

video = import("video.avs")
audio = import("audio.avs") AudioDub(video,audio) or video = DirectShowSource("source",audio=false) audio = DirectShowSource("source",video=false) AudioDub(video,audio) Just examples... You could preview in VirtualDub, look at File Information in the File menu, and then you would know what the output is, and could modify the script if necessary.

Thank you so much DarkNite. Most helpful. I tried the "import" script and then opened it in VirtualDub. Worked like a charm except that the vidoe isn't centered (possibly has to be tweaked!). I also looked at the File Info. It seems that the audio is uncompressed PCM, but I'm not sure about the video?
I've then tried to convert the .avs script file to WMV HD using WME Assistant. Unfortunately, it crashes! Would you have any idea how I may convert the .avs to .wmv? |

Since most of the scripts I've been having to use lately are very processor intensive (you could also read that as "slow") I've been saving the output of the script as a lossless avi and feeding that to WME.
I haven't had any issues with WME Assistant since I've started using the version 1.16.1.xxxx builds. WMCmd.vbs is a good option to have. Your command line will be a lot shorter if you already have a session, or profile saved and can just import that.

Wmcmd.vbs is really easy to use. Just make a text file, rename it with a .bat extension, and put all your parameters in it (input file, output file, codec, bitrate, etc -- all the options are listed in the readme that comes with it). Doubleclick the .bat and there you go. It's actually much faster and easier than any of the encoding programs (WME, TMPGEnc, Procoder) after the first time you use it.

WMCmd.exe works great!
@DarkNite: Thank you for mentioning WMCmd.vbs
@jubiles: Thanks for the encouragement! You're right, it's quite easy to use. The difficult part is figuring out what parameters to use. I used the following script: cscript.exe "C:\Program Files\Windows Media Components\Encoder\wmcmd.vbs" -input "C:\Path to my AVS file\sourcefilename.avs" -output "C:\test.wmv" -v_codec WMV9 -v_mode 2 -v_bitrate 6000000 -v_keydist 30 -v_buffer 10000 -v_quality 100 -v_preproc 1 It started producing some errors (as you may see from the screenshot below), but that didn't stop WMCmd from finishing its business! Finally, it produced some very nice quality results. I have not completed the process, but it's quite slow and my guess is the output file will be very large. Would anyone have any idea how to avoid the errors and tweak the parameters to end up with good quality with a smaller file size? |
